I have the copilot 11 by ALK and it has not caused my laptop to crash. The only problem I have had was when I tried to install it into a new laptop that had Windows Vista. I called ALK and they had me up and running within a few minutes. I really think it's funny when I get off an exit...

I do this because everyplace I worked in the past has gone out of business. (Except the Post Office) thats another story. I also smoked and even 15 years ago or so, it was getting hard to find a place where you could smoke at the workplace. I also like to eat beans and this job lets me eat...

A couple years ago, Landstar let a driver bring on a Fun Mover as a cargo van. You know the RV's with space in the rear to haul your ATV or Motor Cycle. I met the Man and his Wife in Florida and they were two of the nicest people you ever wanted to meet. Problem was they could only haul 900#...

I'll stick with my gas. I don't have to worry about fuel problems in the winter. I will not be carrying around the extra weight. I can get it repaired just about anyplace. It's less to purchase and much less to get repaired. And the idle laws, at least in some places only apply to diesels...

Did everyone miss the item about air brakes? I think you need a CDL to get an air brake endorsement! I agree with chillycat about the DOT person at the scale house.

Any Ford with duel rear wheels or anything larger than a Chevy 3500 DRW with a 10M GVW will make you a Commercial Vehicle. Do you really want that?

Would be nice to have a thread where we could post all the good places to get service done. I also had a good experience this week in Columbus, Oh. Had some work done by a Chevy dealer and it disabled my remote starter. I took it back where I had the remote installed over two years...

It takes two very special people. The teams that I know best, stay out for 3 to 4 weeks then one of them goes home for a week or so. Then switch around so they both get some time apart. At least the wife and husband teams know each other before they go out with each other. What I don't...

Comfort is one of the more important things, not the most for some but right up there. The ability to rest without needing to make up the bed and being able to stand up without getting out of the van is priceless.

Interesting responses. I still believe that anyone who would start a conversation by asking a perfect stranger such a personal question is rude and without manners. Asking whether a person can make a living doing what we do, or something of that nature would be a much better way to start the...

How many times have you been sitting in your truck, or fueling and some stranger walkes up to you and wants to know how much money you make? I believe it's a rude question and none of thier busuiness, and thats what I tell them. Just wondered how other drivers handle the situation

"Wife Swap" This just don't sound like a show that would be connected to the Disney Channel!

Believe it or not, I run across van drivers from time to time that claim they can haul 5000-6000 lbs because they have installed extra springs. I often wonder what would happen if DOT would ever catch one of them with that kind of load on their van. Does unsafe come to mind? I don't believe...

Type into your search engine " Skaggs Clark County " This man killed two people in 1994 with his car. Then again in 2007 he killed three more. Now he MIGHT go to jail for 34 years. Something is wrong with our system that lets someone back on the street time and time again.

You say things are bad in your job market, well things are slow everywhere. Then you say your girlfriend has a DUI because of a hanging judge. Whats that all about? Either she broke the law or she didn't. I'll lay odds that 90% of the people have had a drink and got behind the wheel at one...

This question is for those who already have the air tabs installed. Do you notice that people pull up behind or beside you and spend a lot of time just looking and trying to figure out what is different about your truck? I seem to have a problem with people doing that and I don't have anything...

If this driver talkes to dispatch like he talks to some of the people here, "you need smacked in the head," it's no wonder they don't dispatch him. I was with FECC and Roberts for 6 years and they would never put up with stuff like that back then.

Let me think,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I think you are saying that you get 20% B/4 fuel and tolls, BUT you pay for fuel and tolls and maintance. Either I am missing something or your deal with the truck owner is something out of this world. It's no wonder you are broke.

I have also been told by a Doctor that I am diabetic. I do not take meds. and controll my sugar by diet only. This may sound silly but every time I eat Chinese food my blood sugar drops. I don't know why but it does.

Years ago when Roberts Express used to get loads out of Kokomo, In. and they stored many of us there for days at a time. Some of us went to the Y and got something that was called an away card, or something like, problem was, they wouldn't let you take showers there day after day. I believe...
